He's not a victim, you and many others fail to see he was in violation of his company's policy. Security guards are to observe and report, THAT IS IT.

Honestly the police shouldve arrested him because he did start a fight and then cried about it on the news lol

@user-pd9ti1uu9z 12 сағат бұрын

legal action? so hows that going to go? 1.He violated policy by chasing people based on his assumption "they were going to steal his car" even though they just entered the parking garage and then he started a fist fight. 2. He violated policy again by having an interview while wearing the company's uniform 3.In order to bring forth a suit against someone or an entity, you need to prove there was damages. As everyone has seen on video he initiated the fight by chasing the two teens. He was asked to resign or got justifiably fired on live TV by violating company policy . He took off his uniform in a rageful fit and left during work hours. That's called abandonment. I don't know anyone in their right mind that would hire that dude. however it makes sense that he was hired by someone of the same race, it's clear this is another case of racial nepotism, as the owner said he didn't even do a background check on that guy. How do you hire someone to be around firearms and not do a background check. I wouldn't let that dude anywhere near a gun, that's a ticking time bomb.
